Volkswagen Golf GTI Un-pimp Your Ride
These are hilarious. A statement against riced-up “ah beng” pimped rides, and promoting the new Volkswagen Golf GTI in the USA at the same time. Thanks to cbljkkj for the pointer.
I’m trying out hosting the Flash videos myself instead of using Google Video or Youtube this time, so hopefully you can play these videos without any lag. Please leave some feedback on the streaming speed if possible. Videos are after the jump. There are 3 videos. Enjoy!

Video speed much better but the resolution is a little poor. Could be a smaller file but faster speed trade-off?
The videos are hilarious. Wonder if they used real cars or just outer shells? Looks like big budget ads.
The guy also looks like Peter Stormare who has done many movies (mainly as Russian). Last I can remember, he played that Russian cosmonaut in Armageddon, starring Bruce Willis. Latest movie was in Brothers Grimm.
Can’t make out the woman though. Looks a bit like Kelly Lynch of Charlie’s Angels (villian)

These video definitely much faster than any others… but resolution have been sacrified though.
yup, it’s hilarious, just like a soup opera. But, not to my taste i shall say, quite childish seem like. Honda - always the best…

Why would they want to destroy the car that they are advertising?? At least it makes a point, would rather have a Golf GTI than one of those rice mobiles anyday.

VW always make cool adverts. I recommend checking out the ‘Dancing in the rain’ and the ‘Small but tough Polo’ adverts.

[...] A 16 minute 17 seconds video of Volkswagen’s Fast campaign for the new Mk5 Volkswagen Golf GTI. Volkswagen says there is a “Fast” in all of us, which explains the adrenaline rush and excitement we get when we’re in rapid acceleration and speed. The GTI is positioned as a fast car for the fast in you, that requires no more modifications or pimping to provide the best sporty ride. [...]

[...] An “interesting” video from Dodge’s new series of advertisements for the Dodge Ram. The campaign is known as “Ram Rash”. It really has NOTHING to do with the car it is advertising, but a whole lot different from Volkswagen’s Fast and Un-pimp Your Ride ads. Have a good weekend guys. [...]

The “Rice Car” sub-culture in our country is an inevitable by-product of “The Fast and The Furious” and “Need For Speed Underground”.
